Default From D to B

If I were to get a turbo kit like Drag's for a D series ('93 DX) and in a few years I wanted to get a B18b or c would I only need a B exhaust manifold and tubing?

the D turbo might not flow enough for a B motor. could kill your top end.

Well how about the other way, get a B turbo setup now and also a D manifold and needed piping, and later switch out for a GSR or something? Would I be flowing too much with the B setup on a D engine?

Both will totally connect to the intake manifold, vacuum lines and all?

The d manifold can be modified to fit the b series.

the exhaust manifolds are different sizes... i think if you go from a d to b18b you'll be ok due to simular wiring, the gsr and other vtec wiring is completely different... but b turbo setup and d manifold would work uptil you step up to the b series
